Greenhood s. Morans On. er matters.
The departure of the First Arb. iery Reg
iment and its friends from the city maze
slight difference IN the attendance at SnGg
flake Park yesterday, but il was scarcely
noticeable in the gate receipts. 1t is be.
coming the proper thing TOR such as can
go to the grounds early to do SO, and listen
to the admirable music of the Hussar
band. The concert given prior to yester-
days game was greatly enjoyed.
| The Atlas on this occasion met the
Greenhood & Morans, and the struggle was
very fine one. O'Day, of the Stockton
club, played second base for the Atlas,
| but seemed nervous. and did not
do himself justice Anderson, who has
been sick, played right field, where
he was not at home. and Meagher
held down third. He did some very pretty
work, but made two errors nevertheless.
Mullee, prior to the game, was presented
with mammoth bouquet, from "Sacra-
mento lady friends" 1t was such beau
tifui affair. tastefully arranged, that James
evidently had his mind upon it more than
ON the game for while, and experienced
great dlfhculty in getting the ball over the
plate. During the game he gave seven of
the visiting players bases on balls, but he
struck OUT eleven of the Greenhood &
Morans, and they only succeeded in Sc
curing five hits. The Greenhoods PLAYED
splendid game until toward the close.
when the: Atlas found Borchers pretty
often, and his support, which had been ex-
cellent for several innings. began to be
marred by errors. Ryan, at first base,
played with great ability, achieving eight
cen put-outs. Gurnett's guarding of the
third bag and general playing left nothing
to be desired Ralph McKune, who has off
ciated as umpire during the season, became
dlsgusted with the thankless position, and
last Monday sent in his resignation to
President None. Manager George, of the
Atlas, and w. +. Huntoon being both alb
sent from the city, Mr.. McKune yesterday
acted as manager of the club. George Hill
bert otficiated as umpire, and for first
effort did well. The Oakland manager
did not wish him to officiate because of
his not being on good terms with Borchers,
but he gave the latter :" fair show" and
if anything the Atlas had the worst of it
on balls and strikes. On the other side.
the G. & Ms complained that on one or
the benefit of the doubt on a close decision.
He filled his position very well, neverthe-
less
1t required ten innings to settle the aues-
ton of supremacy. The visitors were first
at the bat and were whitewashed. The
Atlas met with the same fate. In the sec
ond inning the G. & M made the only
tallies they got during the game-four of
them-though they were more than once
retired when they had all the bases occu-
pied. Shea got his base on balls, and stole
second. Fisher brought him in with a
two-bagger to right field. Borchers hit an
easy one to O'Day, who overthrew to third,
and Fisher scored. Gurnett hit safely to
center. Long famed. Mcdonald drove
the ball out into Flint's garden. and before
the fielder could send it back Borchers and
Gurnett had crossed the plate. McCord
hit to Meagher, who threw to O'Day, but
the latter fell and Mcdonald got to the
base. Ryan was given a base on balls.
Blakiston struck out, and Mcdonald hay
ing strayed too far away from the third
base, which he had reached, was put out
by McLaughlin's assist.
The Atlas scored one in this inning.
Newbert struck to pitcher and was put out
at first. Powers made clean hit to GEN.
ter, and got second on passed ball. Mullee
advanced him with a clean hit to left. and
Mclaughlin brought him home with a
sacrifice 10 short. Flint raised the ball to
center field, and Long captured it in
splendid style.
There were no more runs made until the
eighth inning, and the playing on both
sides was very handsome. In the eighth
Mclaughlin made a nice hit to left, and
danced backwards and forwards, until he
got his opponents unsettled and finally
reached second. A passed ball let him get
to third, and he tailed on another.
In the ninth inning, the "rattling' of
the G. & Ms was made worse, and the
crowd from yells of delight advanced to the
stage of hat-throwing, waving handker-
chiefs and shouting like wild men as the
Sacramento players increased their pros
poets of victory. Meagher led oil with
a hit to center, who "muffedn Cayeny got
a base on balls, and he and Meagher each
stole base, the latter then coming home
on a passed ball. Newbert sent an easy
one to short-stop, but Ryan failed TO hold
the ball when the latter threw it, and New
bert was safe, while Caveny tailed, and
thus the score was tied. The side was re-
tired without adding any more runs.
An extra inning being necessary, the G.
IL Ms got another goose egg. Flint hit
safely TO third. He then stole two bases. !
Anderson waited, and went to first on SIX
balls. O'Day came to the bat next and hit |
the ball such whack that it went to the
fence in the extreme corner of The left |
field, bringing in Flint and Anderson, and
0'Day had made the tour of the bases and
was being congratulated before Fisher got
the ball in his hand. 1t was the best hit
made on the grounds so far, but. unfortu-
nately, did not count" as Flints run
ended the game. Following is the score:
